Very informative. I liked how the presenters provided such great pictures of the overall plant form. Better than lots of the pics I find online. They also gave a bit of their personal experience, which is something that's difficult to google. Thanks!!!

that is always a pet peeve of mine - I don't need a close up of one flower I need to see how it will look as a whole!

There are actually a lot of serviceberry street trees in DC that are doing well, especially when they have afternoon shade.

Thank you for emphasizing local plants, they are a key element to restoring our environment. Have you heard of Doug Tallamy or seen him on KZbin, if not take a look?

[@RugbyNick6]

They've heard of him... :)
